Ranking hotness is as subjective as food preferences. I despise mayonnaise. Literally, I will avoid the product at all costs. Even in the grocery aisle it makes me squirm. But I know there are people out in the world who douse their fries in oily mayo packets. I don’t judge. Go about your business, mayo eating folks. No harm done. Maxim’s Hot 100 list ranks “The World’s Most Beautiful Women.” I can just picture a frat house debate on which woman has the “bod” to supersede another hotly attributed star.

I am not scoffing at the idea of a Hot List. In fact, its sole purpose lies in entertaining. And I can’t deny that I didn’t laugh when I read the choices. When a reality star, a cartoon character and a formerly jailed woman all sit among a list of models and A-list celebrities, it certainly moves away from any real legitimacy. Some highlights of this year’s Maxim’s Hot 100:
